hi i am new to these forums .i am prepared to offer my services to the members .

i have access to a cnc lathe with live tooling and also a machine centre "mill'.

my proposal is if anyone has any ideas /parts they would like to have cnc machined and there is a interest in it on the forum to make it worth making ,i am prepared to make parts .obviously the person that has the idea will recieve their part for free or for cost of material if it goes to manufacture.

prefer to make cosmetic parts or bolt on like brake res caps /covers etc you may have seen a part for another make/model car or don't know where to buy the part from .no performance parts like turbo bov etc

start sending your ideas

dave

To be honest, i have done this brake conversion on a car. Its really not a good setup at all, as to make the pad gat close to full contact on the rotor, we had to machine a lot of alloy out of the calliper to suit the different diameter rotor, which is certainly highly illegal , as it weakens the calliper, and even after taking enough metal off the calliper that the bolts holding the two halves of the calliper were exposed, even then the pad hung off the edge of the disc, which obviously isnt good for pad wear and brake performance. Although it seems like a good upgrade, the end result is definately a :laugh: and could never be properly engineered

i have done a few brake conversion kits and wondered how it would go with the extra dia on the disc .

if someone had done it and could supply a sample to copy it would be easier .i dont really want to pull my car apart to jig up a caliper if it isnt a really good conversion .

my wife uses our r34 as a daily so a brake kit is something that would take time .

more interested in making bolt on bits or cosmetic bits .billet strut brace mounts etc would be easier to make . i will have a look over the car the next few days for suggestions and see what ideas i can come up with

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
